Podcast: Pokémon Go to The Military Industrial Complex


Podcast: Pokémon Go to The Military Industrial Complex

This week we start with Emanuel’s couple of stories about Niantic, the company that makes Pokémon Go, and its plan to build an AI model based on data collected by its users. After the break, Jason and Emanuel talk about their big investigation into the rise of “AI pimping.” In the subscribers-only section, Joseph explains how he tried out a new phone sold to the U.S. military which is now looking to sell to high risk members of the public.
